A tablecloth for every season

Over the years I have collected a few oilcloth tablecloths for our kitchen table here in the US, one for each season. Oilcloth is definitely the preferred medium as it wipes up easily and only requires a gentle (with Woolite on cold) machine wash once or twice a year, hang dry with no ironing. Right now, Avril is enjoying sleeping on the fall/winter cloth, one with ocres, greens and yellow, that reminds me of fall colors. When the leaves begin to change color, this cloth joins the tableau in our kitchen, on the table next to the window, so we can view the trees outside as they fall into winter, losing their leaves, heading into rest. I always wish I could join them and the bears and hibernate until spring, stay snuggled in flannel sheets and down comforters until Spring. By then, we can change over to a more cheerful welcoming table, bright with lemons and blues to match the hues of the sky as we head toward summer. By then we can go full Provence, with the white tablecloth, full of Provencal lavender and roses, softly directing us to return to France, saying welcome back.
